I'd like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And he's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get it.
But I want you to know tonight that we as a people
will get to the promised land.
So I'm happy tonight.
I'm not worried about anything.
I'm not feeling, man.
My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.
[C#]
[C#m] Yeah.
You know what?
Fuck those.
Immortal technique.
Killer mic.
Brother Ali.
Fuck Lambo.
No, fuck Lambo.
Yeah.
The ghetto is like a prison with invisible bars.
No matter where you at, it always follows you [C#] where you are.
And it's hard out there for a pimp [C#m] to get out of.
But it's harder for the hook that I be beat the shit out of.
I got niggas underground in the Confederate states.
Ironic and grunted from slavery that prison create.
So I never hate on the South.
I respect they vision.
I just hate on niggas that promote
Samboism and white execs that love to see us in that position.
They reflect the stereotypes of America's vision.
They want to stand to coon and holler and only respect us
for playing sports and modeling more than racism.
It's staying your places.
The more people are trapped in practical black racism.
So fuck a civil war between the North and the South.
It's between field niggas and slaves that are slucking the house.
Civil war for the soul of a [G#] nation.
This is a struggle to save civilization.
Demonstration overthrowing the [C#m] occupation.
The annihilation of mental colonization.
Civil war for the soul of a nation.
We fight for the future of our civilization.
[G#] Destroy the corrupt government [C#m] organizations
trying to survive cultural assassination.
RIP niggas, blood niggas, SA Asians.
Why the fuck we warring with each other's population?
The devil want to dare all our population.
People and folk nation.
Why the separation?
Why we got Jamaicans hating on Asians?
When the British and French rape both nations.
[C#] Mexicans and blacks kill each other.
Straight hating.
Why [C#m] the government profits from prison population?
If [C#] you on the bottom, be you Anglo or Asian.
You got to recognize the realness of what I'm saying.
You got to recognize another chief ain't the [C#m] enemy.
When the police rioting, kill us frequently.
We got to make you see where the truth be.
If you achieve, then grow and develop, chief.
We 50 [C#] years of gangs and our people still poor.
[C#m] If we really run the streets, we should really end war.
Civil war for the soul of a [G#] nation.
This is a struggle to save civilization.

[G#] Destroy the corrupt government organizations
[C#m] trying to survive cultural assassination.
Listen, our hearts were torn apart just like y'all was.
Watching towers full of souls for the soldiers.
[C#] Every time you called your office, you ignored [C#m] us.
Now you're holding hearings on a call inside of Congress.
Microscopes on us.
[C#] Asked which is hardest.
My answer was in [C#m] line with all of the founding fathers.
I think Patrick said it best.
Give me liberty or death.
I shall never accept anything less.
You claim innocence.
You play victimless.
But you gave the kiss of death in the name of self-defense.
Slavery and theft of other nations to the end of pacifying your citizenry with [C#] excess.
We believe in freedom, justice, security,
but they're only pure [C#m] when they're applied universally.
So certainly if I rage against the machine, my aim was only to clean
the germs out of the [C#] circuitry.
Urgently putting fear inside your heart.
Make you burn Qurans [C#m] and tell me not to build a mosque.
Me, [C#] my wife and babies, we ain't never made you hard.
We just want to touch your head to the floor and talk to God.
Ask him to remove every plemish from our heart.
The greatest threat of harm [C#m] doesn't come from any bomb.
The moment you refuse the human rights for just a few.
What happens when that few includes you?
Civil War.
